Great home

Had a great time staying here with my family. Location is just a few minutes walk from the shops in Douglass. Even more shops are close by in Saugatuck. Home was clean, in good working order. Kitchen was better stocked than most we have seen. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

Perfect Girl’s Weekend

The place was pretty much perfect, the beds were comfy and clean, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need! You also have a beautiful outdoor space and a lake view! My only comment would be that it would be smart to upgrade to a code entry instead of 1 key because we had people wanting to come home at different times. But overall I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a large group.

Fabulous Spot for a Friendscation!

The Douglas modern villa is an incredibly well-appointed home full of every amenity needed for a great vacation. The kitchen was the perfect place for our group of old friends to gather and cook delicious meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and modern. The rooftop deck offers a beautiful view of the water, the backyard has a patio and firepit. The proximity to Douglas village is excellent. We enjoyed strolling into town for coffee, meals, gallery tours. It’s also super close to Saugatuck and all of its offerings. We would definitely return!

Great location for our family.

We had a family wedding at The Ravines and The Ivy House. This property was in the perfect location to those venues; plus walked to downtown Douglas and a 4 minute drive to downtown Saugatuck. The property had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from for us. We had three couples and a single. The home was well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, cooking items (though we ate out) etc..

Wonderful place

There were 15 adults in our group - plenty of room for all of us for meals and conversation! Very clean. Sleeping accommodations were great - just be aware that the futon in the basement is barely a double size bed. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and just about anything you could want in a kitchen and plenty of tableware - all cupboards were labeled! Worked out very well for our group.

Great stay!

Well organized and well appointed home in a fantastic location! Easy walk to both Douglas and Saugtuck and everything you need for your stay. We stay in lots of VRBO’s and this one is great. We traveled after Christmas with family ranging from 10 to adult and everyone was comfortable. We would love to come back in the summer when we can take advantage of the rooftop area.
